Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) is used to determine changes in mass in relation to change in temperature. TGA is very useful to determine the composition of rubbers in terms of oil/plasticizer, polymer, carbon black and inorganic filler. Other typical TGA analysis applications include:

• Compositional TGA analysis of multi-component materials or blends
• Thermal stabilities
• Oxidative stabilities
• Estimation of product lifetimes
• Decomposition kinetics
• Effects of reactive atmospheres on materials
• Filler content of materials
• Moisture and volatiles content
